Campana Building

The Crypts of Campana, A Factory of Fear was designed and built by the West Aurora High School Stage Crew to raise funds for the program.

“As a non-athletic extracurricular activity, the West High Stage Crew is not funded by the School District; we raise our own funds for programming, equipment and field trips,” says Tom Lorenz, technical director of the West High Theatre Department. “The haunted house will provide a unique source of revenue, while teaching our students a different way to use their technical skills.”

The West High Stage Crew assisted in Batavia MainStreet’s Shakespeare on Clark production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” directed by Julane Sullivan, owner of All Dressed Up Costumes in Batavia.

A menacing pumpkin head is one of the costumes at All Dressed Up, which is assisting the haunted house. STAFF PHOTO BY STEVE BITTINGER
